A rhetorical poem that glows with its own brilliance but not 'in vain'. Magnificent.
This poem may written by the poet when he was depression and full of negative thoughts.
But not everything is in vain......though we see them when our perspective is different.
This must've been written when he was going through one of his depressions. Anyone with depression knows everything seems to be in vain and bleakly hopeless. I think this is bit self indulgent for Jack and I'm pleased to be able to read what he was thinking at a dark time. It's as if he doesn't care whether or not someone else reads this. It's all for him all his own thoughts in writing.
Extremely well read on video, making a great poem even better.
